Former UNC football quarterback Sam Howell is a week away from hearing his name called and putting an NFL team cap on his head. The question remains: When will his name get called and where will he be headed?
Howell participated in the Senior Bowl, NFL Scouting Combine, UNC’s Pro Day and has also met with teams in the predraft process. And what we do know is that six NFL teams have had Howell in for a top 30 visit so far.
The Atlanta Falcons, Carolina Panthers, Indianapolis Colts, New Orleans Saints, New York Giants, and Pittsburgh Steelers have all had Howell in for a visit, showing interest in the record-breaking quarterback. The beauty in the six teams that Howell will visit is that they all could use his services as they look to scramble for their next quarterback.
Howell is currently mocked as a late first-round or early second-round draft pick. It will be interesting to see which team takes arguably the greatest QB in UNC football history.
